Question

1. Write the following statements in the from of equations.
a. One third of a number plus 7 is 26​

Answer 1

Answer: The number is 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Lemme tell you , We dont know the number , so we imagine it as x

so the question says one third of a number , so 1 third is 1 divided by 3 and if we imagene the number as x , we can write x/3 .

So x/3 +7 = 26 , as the equation says one third of a number plus 7 is equal to 26.

So write the lcm of 3 and 7 and then cross multiply , and subtract . you get      

x = 57 , and we imagined x as the number so if x is 57 , so the number we have to find is also 57 . Done Easy .
